Edo Traveler - Vol 13 Chapter 69
Indeed, if the Hiroshima Division is formed, the source of soldiers must come from places such as Yamaguchi and Hiroshima. But the cadets of the Naval Academy come from all over the country. Neither can form a township party, nor can they pull accomplices.
There is no Mandarin in Japan at this time!
The Japanese in Kanto and Kansai are very different. You let a commoner from Aomori come to Edo, and he speaks Japanese so that no Edo person can understand it. With such a thing alone, it would be difficult for the students from all over the world to hug together immediately.
The inability to form a small group in private, coupled with the education of His Majesty Tokugawa Chusho, and the implementation of the “Dear and Sincere” instruction, can generally ensure that these students are inclined to the Edo government and used by the Edo government.
It is equivalent to inserting a shogunate force in the center of the southwest to strengthen the shogunate’s local control.
Moreover, the Naval Academy is located on Jiangtian Island, surrounded by the sea, and outsiders are prohibited from entering, which can also prevent them from being influenced by outsiders and caring people. None of you can get on the island, I see how you can win over the navy cadets.
“Send staff to Eta Island to plan the new school building of the Naval Academy.” Chuemon decided immediately.
I just hope they are all in good spirits and don’t go back to the old way of feeding fish in the Pacific Ocean. Of course, according to the current situation, they can’t make it.
“As it should be!” Yoshida Shoin said loudly.
The other senior ministers have nothing to say. They all know that this is to strengthen the government’s strength in the southwest. Everyone’s **** is on the boat of Chuemon, so how could there be any objections.
This morning’s imperial meeting is over, everyone will leave the meeting and go back to their office. The government offices newly built in Omoko Edo are all very foreign. They are all French-style buildings, much brighter than the low-rise Japanese-style houses before. The officials who used to be crowded with offices in the Ichibashi Mansion have now moved in.
In the past, the infantry was vacant, and the navy was in Osaka, so the navy and the army were co-located. A building has two wings on the left and right, half on one side. Now that the army is expanding, the sea school is relocated, the affairs are complicated, and the personnel are filled, and a building seems a bit crowded.
Matsudaira Qixuan, who walked out of the office, mentioned this matter to Chuemon. He said that he thought it was too simple at the beginning. He didn’t expect that the official staff would expand so quickly. I’m afraid there is a chance to build another building for the Admiralty.
That is, the original land in the city has been divided up by various departments. If the naval building is built outside, the interior of the navy will definitely be uncomfortable. It was as if Jiang Chuan Yingmin was in a foreign post, and no one helped them win, and they were bullied.
In fact, according to Songping Qi Xuan, the navy and army, the palms of the hands and the backs of the hands are full of flesh, otherwise they would not have thought of co-locating offices. Now think of a way to see if you can expand the building or something.
Chuemon remembered this, and said that he would ask someone to come over and see if there was any way to expand it.
After all, after leaving Edo Main Castle, the houses of the princes are all around. If you ask them to move now, will they be happy? Who doesn’t know that the closer you are to the center of power, the easier it is to have power.
Now that the feudal kingdom has also accepted it, and the samurai has also surrendered, the rest of the house that surrounds the power center of the Edo main city, is it possible to take it back?
How did you agree to withdraw from the vassal? It was agreed that the private property of the daimyo princes will be kept, including manor villas and mansion houses.
Think long term…
After sending the ministers away, Chungemon looked at the time, and it was almost time for lunch. So he instructed the attendants not to go back to the Imperial Palace for lunch. Alan and the others can take care of themselves. Let’s go out to eat here.
Naturally, it was the invitation of the three major shareholders, and Yataro Iwasaki, the manager of the Industrial Society. Although they were made barons and became Chinese, they knew very well how much they weighed and would not compete for the second seat with the dukes, counts and ministers. Now that I can line up with Chuemon and have lunch, it would be nice.
If the times continue to develop, it will take about 20 to 30 years, and some Chinese people who only rely on annuity to live will start to gradually become “poor”. After all, there are only so many annuities, and the leisure time will not increase, but the extravagant expenses will only increase. At that time, what will happen to people who have no money but have no money?
At the beginning, it is estimated that he will persist. If he can’t persist, he may finally try his best to marry Shigeru Nara’s daughter and Sumitomo Yoshi’s daughter. On the surface, the duke and the marquis are married to the daughter of the baron, and they are at a disadvantage. Actually what’s going on, you guys know it.
After the merchant is ennobled, his daughter will definitely ask for a good number of people to marry!
I really want to see the scene of the marriage in the future. The sooner I collude, the sooner I will be able to gradually transform me into a new bourgeois aristocrat, and abandon the stereotypes.
The three stock friends, along with Yataro Iwasaki, have been waiting in the flower hall of Yishengan for a long time. Now Lixia, the weather is getting hotter and hotter. After waiting for so long, these people didn’t sweat at all, and their energy-raising skills are getting better and better.
Seeing the arrival of Chuemon, the four of them stood up one after another and said hello to Chuemon. Chuemon is more concerned about these things outside. In private occasions, these are all old friends, so there is no need to be too strict.
After sitting down and drinking a cup of herbal tea, Chuemon wiped the sweat from the horse riding over, and chatted with the four of them. There is no need to be too restrictive to talk while eating. Anyway, it’s just a matter of Japanese bank notes, and it seems to be running quite well at present.
Shigeru Nara poured a cup for Chuemon, then sat down and talked about sending people to study printing presses, ink and paper.
Chuemon nodded, UU read www. uukanshu.com said this is understandable, take your time. If the inks used to print money were so easily studied by you, sterling would have flooded the streets with counterfeit money.
Later, during World War II, the mustache also gathered a lot of people and used the power of the country, which made a breakthrough and got the counterfeit sterling currency out. We can’t be in a hurry, just take it step by step.
Another issue is the issue of currency distribution. When autumn grains arrive in a few months to buy grain from farmers and landlords, whether they are willing to accept banknotes is also a major issue. I hope the government will cooperate by then. After all, it was the three of them who bought the Nian Gongmi, and there were more than a dozen smaller merchants. Concerning personal interests, you have to prepare in advance.
“At that time, you can just go to discuss with Yajiro, and come back to me if it’s not right.” Shimadzu defined financial affairs, no matter who he asked.
“There is one more thing, it’s not very big, and I want to ask Shangqi.” Hong Chi Shan also said.
“What’s the matter?”
“I want to open a textile factory and a sugar factory in Shanghai and Hong Kong.”
